Dear all,

I’m a beginner of yii2 framework. I’ve tried ActiveDataProvider in my env to access my sql database, and used GridView wiget to display data and do the pagination. Now I need to get data from APIs, and the APIs can give me the page info such as ‘page_size’, ‘page_number’ and ‘total_page’. My question is how can I rewrite ActiveDataProvider function to get data from APIs and realize the pagination function?

Or is there any other solution for my requirement?

Thanks!

Oh, yes, there is ‘Creating Custom Data Provider’ section mentioned about my issue. I’ll try it out. Thank you very much, Bizley!

Issue solved, I referred to ‘Creating Custom Data Provider’ section to rewrite ‘prepareModels()’, ‘prepareKeys()’ and ‘prepareTotalCount’ functions. All the data can be returned successfully by the APIs. Thank you very much!
